Wednesday is the favorite day of the week
for the celebration of weddings. There are
several very good reasons for it, leaving out
the old bachelors theory that it is because 1T
is 'sWeddin 'sday," and was appropriately
chosen because Wooden was the Mars OF the
Scandinavians-th god of strife. The most
satisfactory one is that it is in the middle of
theIweek, and hence most convenient. 1t al
lows time for preparation on the one side,
and of leisure for travelling to the spot where
the honeymoon is to be spent on the other,
without trenching upon Sunday. Thursday
is the next popular day. Nobody wishes to
be married on Friday, because of the silly
old superstition about it being unlucky; while
Saturday is too near Sunday.

L. F. Richholt, we'll known to most of our
readers, and now residing at Sterling, Dako-
ia, went beaver hunting short time since,
going in all about two hundred miles from
his home, and succeeded in trapping thirty
two beavers. The skins averaged two pounds
each, and sell for 81 pound, making 1886
for the receipts of the trip. We should call
that pretty good haul and think Dakota
must surely be the place for profitable hunt
ing. The largest beaver weighed 6S pounds
and Mr.. Richholt cut off the tail and sent it
to his brother in-law, W. Wrede, of this city,
who brought it up to this Office for inspection.

HEREDITARY LEGISLATORS.
The Growing Demand for Reform Of the
House of Lords.

The Growing DEMAND ior hehorm oi tne
House of Lords.
LONDON, October 5.-The strong feeling
among all classes Of the population as to
the urgent necessity Of instituting reforms
in the constitution of the House Of Lords
has been further demonstrated by the
Morning Post, the paper of the Tory aris-
tocracy par excellence, which has followed
the example set by the Times and the
81. James's Gazette on Saturday last Ip an
editorial published this morning on the
subject Of the Marquis of Ailesbury's dis
grace the Post comments on the necessity
of requiring something more than mere
hereditary claim as qualification for n
seat and vote in the House Of Lords. II
says:
IF the reorganization Of the House be
undertaken by the Lords themselves q use
ful reform may be effected: II by the Conn.,
mons, it world become perhaps q danger
ous innovation. In either case il is in
evitable. We regret to feel that necessity
for action has to q certain extent been
forced on us by the attitude of the House
of Lords in the past session Of Parliament.
On more than one occasion the arrange
ments agreed 10. and carried with the
assent of the Government in the House Of
Commons, have been rejected by the Lords,
with the concurrence of the Ministers in
the upper House. In one instance this
step has heen taken, when the assent of khe
Ministers in the lower House procured the
passing of the r:sasure without division.
Precautions must be taken against such
occurrences, which will inevitably lead to
q grave collision between the two branches

Train wreckers FoiIed.

CHICAGO, October 5.--The Nens ~.
Louis special says: A diabolical attempt
was made yesterday to wreck a passenger
train on the Illinois and 81. Louis rail-
road about mile and a half from Belle
vile, III. A special train Of five cars,
filled with excursionsts from st. Louis,
was approaching Belleville at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour. when the train
rushed into an open switch before the en-
gineer could stop the train. A quarter Of
a mile further on the switch rail bad been
adjusted 70 as to plunge the train down a
steep embankment. A fnghtful disaster was
narrowly averted, as the occupants Of the
coaches were mostly women and children.
August Franz and Joe Gahr, now 10 the
county Jail under indictment for taking
out the spikes from rail on the same road
near this spot, have confessed their guilt
and claim that it was the result Of a
drunken debanch. The officers are salts
fed that there are Others associated with
them. The people Of BellviIle and East
st. Louis are terribly excited over this oc.
currenee and threats Of lynching are made.

WHAT Is IT FORT
The World" Wants Editor Dana to Tell
IL What the Cyclopedia Is For.
NsJp J1rE WorLj

Nep York World.
A carping critic of the President falls
foul OF him because he apparently drew some
of the historical and geographical informa-
tion concerning Indiana towns, which gar
nished his speeches in that State, from the
cyclOpedia.
The criticism is strained. What is a
cyclopedia for except to furnish informa-
tion that people have not store room for in
their heads? Is it to he supposed that a
President of the United States has his own
"private stJckn of knowledge about towns
that he has never visited? Historical
and geographical lore cannot safely be
evolved from the inner consciousness
even of President. Improvised knowl-
edge about localities is not safe to
talk to their inhabitants. Kossuth found
this TO his dicOmfture when coming to
the little crossroads settlement of Shelby,
in Ohio, and not being fortified with pre-
viOus information by his helpful secre.
tary, he caught the name * "Shallbe,
and proceed to declam to the ast0nished
settlers, in his matchless manner. Of the
prophetic inspiration that named their
their town. ut Shall be- indeed great
city in the future" he declared, but it is
still 8 crossroads hamlet.
For our part, we think reference 10 a
standard cyclopedia for information, by
an untravelled tourist, much more COM
mendable practice than that which some
editors have of ransacking the dictionary
for antique and horrible words, and firing
them off at unprotected readers as sample
OF their "private stock" A President who

THE B. 4 0. TELEGRAPH.
Rumors That the Deal With the Western
Union Is Practically Settled.

kumOrs That the DeaI WIN tne "esterh
Union is Practically Settled.
New YORK, October 5-A Wall street
circular says: "The street this afternoon
is flooded with talk about the b. *. o.
telegraph sale. A member Of the execu-
tive committee of the W. L. telegraph
company is given as authority for the
statement that all the preliminar!es for the
transfer of the B. & o. telegraph were ar
ranged at a meeting to-day, and nothing
remains except the formal approval OF the
stockholders TO consummate the deal.
The Western Union management already
have sufficient proxies to guarantee rati-
fication of the agreement, and the bulk OF
the B. & o. stockholders bound them
selves TO vote for it on their side. No de-
tails can de obtained as 10 the price, but
il is understood that the stock of the b. x
o. telegraph is to be exchanged for an
equal amount of Western Union stock.
The executive committee of the w, T..
board of directors met to-day. Alter the
meeting Russell Sage said that only rou-
tine business had been transacted. Mr.
Gould said that nothing had been done
about the purchase of the B. X. o, lines,
but declined TO say whether Jr not the
subject was discussed.
